CVE-2017-7453
The iwgif_record_pixel function in imagew-gif.c in libimageworsener.a in ImageWorsener 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
